Graded EX/NM+ 6.5 by SGC. Tremendous high-grade example of one of the most famous cards of the 1910 era: Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Famer Honus Wagner from the M116 Sporting Life series. This card is popular on many counts, including the fact that the portrait is so similar in appearance to the famous T206 Wagner and dates from the same era. Wagner is one of the key cards of the series. The card is bright and clean with a striking, crisp image, outstanding centering, and strong corners. The advertising on the reverse for Sporting Life is printed boldly in blue. This is a superb example that would be a highlight in any M116 Sporting Life, Honus Wagner, or Hall of Fame card collection.
